Daily Democracy

Ryan Blethen discusses the press, media and democracy. Daily Democracy is part of the Democracy Papers, a series of articles, essays and editorial opinion examining threats to our freedoms of speech and the press.

"Inside and outside of the paper, there's no confusion about who the paper belongs to. Not the editors who built it, not the reporters who fill it with articles, but the men who bought and paid for it."

That is how David Carr of the New York Times concludes his Media Equation column today. An interesting piece that shows how Rupert Murdoch's changes at the Wall Street Journal are playing out. Carr's column can be found here.
